EvergreenL: 302'4" Y: 1997Yung-fa Chang,
the chief of the Taiwanese shipping company named Evergreen, also owns
this five-deck-high yacht. But he's reportedly selling her because
he's building a larger yacht. Interested buyers, take note: You
and 26 of your guests can enjoy the karaoke saloon, 20 staterooms, a meeting
room, and a pool (yes, a pool--not a teenie Jacuzzi). B: Hayashikane,

TatooshL: 301'8" Y: 2000
Spotted in Antigua in mid-January, Tatoosh was commissioned by
Craig McCaw, the American telecommunications baron, but he sold the yacht
late last year to Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen (see no. 63). The New
York Times reported the selling price to be $100 million, but no one associated
with the transaction is officially talking. The yacht also spent a good
deal of time in New Orleans beginning shortly before the Super Bowl and
continuing on through the early spring. Later she voyaged to the Galapagos,
apparently so the crew could check out some dive sites, as Allen is known
to be an avid diver. Tatoosh returned to New Orleans in the late spring.

NahlinL: 300'0" Y: 1930This 72-year-old
yacht is in her third year of an ambitious restoration, since she had
languished for years. Built for Lady Yule, once one of England's
wealthiest citizens, Nahlin cruised more than 200,000 miles in
her first four years; one notable trip was a charter King Edward VIII
took with American divorcee Wallis Simpson in 1936 in the Adriatic. The
yacht sold the following year for $1.35 million to King Carol of Romania
and was rechristened Lucearful. But when the king abdicated the throne
in 1940, the yacht's fortunes gradually declined. At one point she
was converted into a floating restaurant moored to the banks of the Danube,
remaining there through the late 1980's, but she deteriorated through
the 1990's. In 1996 Nick Edmiston of the yacht-management firm Edmiston
& Company acquired her on behalf of a client and had her transported
to England for the restoration. B: John Brown & Co., Scotland;

Asean LadyL: 289'0" Y: 2002Open letter to
Brian Chang, owner of Asean Lady and the Yantai-Raffles Shipyard
in China, where she's about to be delivered: We've been waiting
(and waiting) for this yacht to launch. In fact, we've tried our
best to be patient over the past two years while you diverted workers
to important commercial projects at the yard. That move was understandable,
but we've been left feeling like a little kid who knows he just
got the coolest bike on the block but can't unwrap it. Asean Lady
is truly unlike any other yacht afloat, due to her outrigger design--when
can we get aboard and see her accommodations for 22 guests, jogging track
on the upper deck, and viewing platform built into the funnel-like structure
on the flying bridge that's more than 70 feet above the water's
surface? B: Yantai-Raffles Shipyard, China; N: Ian Mitchell; H: Steel;

Arctic PL: 288'7" Y: 1969/1995Kerry Packer,
the Australian media and casino baron who's also his country's
richest man, takes this converted ice-class tug on world excursions. He
had Arctic P moored in Sydney Harbour during the Olympics a few
years ago, and the running joke in town had tourists encouraged to "just
clamber aboard--Kerry loves surprises!" The yacht was spotted
in Sydney once again in March. B: Schichau-Unterwasser A.G., Germany;

Kingdom 5KRL: 281'9" Y: 1980Every August Kingdom
5KR pulls into Cannes, and strollers along the city's famed
Croisette get to admire the yacht's beige and green exterior--beige
for the desert sand, green for the palm tree, the symbol of Saudi Arabia.
Her owner, Prince Alwaleed, included "Kingdom" in the
yacht's name for his holding company, which invests in everything
from the Four Seasons Hotels to AOL and Citigroup. As for "5KR,"
"5" wards off bad luck, and the initials represent his children's
names ("K" for Khaled and "R" for Reem). B:

Golden OdysseyL: 265'7" Y: 1990The Saudi prince
who owns this yacht is obviously a big fan of the sea, using her as the
head of a fleet of boats that include Golden Shadow (see no. 37)
and Golden Osprey, a "small" sportfisherman (we say
"small" because the boat isn't on this list). The prince
often makes the vessels available for scientific research voyages, particularly
those concerning the health of ocean reefs. B: Blohm & Voss, Germany;

Bart RobertsL: 265'0" Y: 1963/1986/2002Black Bart himself
would be proud, as this is a stalwart seagoer with an ice-strengthened
hull. Nearly 40 years ago Bart Roberts was launched in Montreal
as a member of the Royal Canadian naval fleet and rebuilt (to the tune
of $20 million) by the Canadian Coast Guard in 1986. The most recent refit
saw her gain luxurious accommodations and all-new machinery and receive
SOLAS certification for 36 passengers. Her 42-foot beam gives new meaning
to "full-width master suite" and "enormous saloon,"
the latter featuring a stone fireplace, dance floor, and bar area. B:
